Wow, so much anger. As of 2002, Canada was the US largest trading partner with over $370 Billion in trade and a merchandise deficit of $50 billion. This trading has benefited BOTH countries. The lumber issue is one of many since the implementation of NAFTA. It will be worked through just like the others.

It's pretty stupid that we still have tarriffs and subsidies period. It is remarkably stupid in my opinion. What we should do is remove all trade barriers. The benefits of comparative advantage work even if the other guy wants to hurt his own people with government intervention.
